We produce 80% of our total bedding plant requirements, including 6,000 hanging baskets. Great emphasis is placed on plant quality and freedom from pests and disease. We have a policy of only using chemicals as the last resort and concentrate on other methods, such as high standards of hygiene and cultural care. Over one million plants are produced each year. There are always stocks of fresh plants available in quantity as batches are produced each week and these plants can be sent down to the Garden Centre within 10 minutes
Coolings Nursery
Production Nursery
Our largest production nursery is behind Arthurs Restaurant at Coolings The Gardener’s Garden Centre, Rushmore Hill, Knockholt, this covers an area of 4.5 acres. At Coolings Wych Cross Garden Centre we have restored the rose nursery and have begun growing thousands of plants on-site and these can be seen from the terrace of our Hybrid Tea Room, the smallest of our production nurseries is at Coolings Potted Garden Nursery in Bearsted near Maidstone.
Our enthusiastic and well-qualified team of horticulturalists have a wealth of experience between them and are responsible for overseeing the production of our Coolings plants.
